Answer:

distance between object and image =  18.9 cm

Explanation:

given data

radius of curvature = 18 cm

focal length = 1/2 radius of curvature

magnification = 40%

to find out

distance between object and image

solution

we know lens formula that is

1/f = 1/v + 1/u     ....................1

here f = 18 /2 and v and u is object and image distance

and we know m = 40% = 0.40

so 0.40 = -v / u

so here v = - 0.40 u

so from equation 1

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

2/18 = - 1/0.40u + 1/u

u = -13.5 cm   ..................2

and

v = -0.40 (- 13.5)

v = 5.4 cm     ......................3

so from equation 2 and 3

distance between object and image =  5.4 + 13.5

distance between object and image =  18.9 cm

A deuterium atom is a hydrogen atom with a neutron added to its nucleus. Approximate the binding energy of this nucleus, given t
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

c. 2 MeV.

Explanation:

The computation of the binding energy is shown below

= [Zm_p + (A - Z)m_n - N]c^2\\\\=[(1) (1.007825u) + (2 - 1 ) ( 1.008665 u) - 2.014102 u]c^2\\\\= (0.002388u)c^2\\\\= (.002388) (931.5 MeV)\\\\=2.22 MeV

= 2 MeV

As 1 MeV = (1 u) c^2

hence, the binding energy is 2 MeV

Therefore the correct option is c.

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct binding energy could come

And, the same is to be considered

Imagine a small child whose legs are half as long as her parent’s legs. If her parent can walk at maximum speed V, at what maxim
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}

Explanation:

We know that speed is given by dividing distance by time or multiplying length and frequency. The speed of the father will be given by Lf where L is the length of the father’s leg ad f is the frequency.

We know that frequency of simple pendulum follows that f=\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}}

Now, the speed of the father will be V=Lf= L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}}) while for the child the speed will be v=\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})

The ratio of the father’s speed to the child’s speed will be

\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})}{ L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}})}\\\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}\\\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}

What wavelength of light (in nm) is associated with a frequency of 8.01E15 Hz?
AlekseyPX

Answer: 37.5 nm

Explanation: speed of light c= 3.00·10^8 m/s.

I use same accuracy to speed of light as it's for frequency.

Frequency f= 8.01·10^15 1/s

Speed c = wavelength · frequency

Wavelength = c/f = 3.745·10^-8 m

What happens to gravity when someone jumps up?
Alla [95]

Answer:

The direct answer to the question as written is as follows: nothing happens to gravity when someone jumps up - gravity continues exerting a force on the body of that particular someone proportional to (mass of someone) x (mass of Earth) / (distance squared). What you might be asking, however, is what is the net force acting on the body of someone jumping up. At the moment of  someone jumping up there is an upward acceleration, i.e., an upward-directed force which counteracts the gravitational force - this is the net force ( a result of the jump force minus gravity). From that moment on, only gravity acts on the body. The someone moves upward gradually decelerating to the downward gravitational acceleration until they reaches the peak of the jump (zero velocity). Then, back to Earth.
